Dead-end transfer of spacer cart

[wonka12321]

but touch between two conductors with different phases at the same moment is worse than conection betwen conductor and the ground! The tensinon is bigger!

resplect my black bläthör:)

[Coltbullseye]

its hard to complain about the camera work considering where they are

[revomusicman]

This guy's paycheck must be as big as his balls.

[itsdglad4]

They use the helicopter and stay only on the lines. they do not touch the ground. like a bird on the wire. No grounding, no hazard.

[gncc94]

i could not do that

[letssled]

So were these lines energized?

[marmum87]

@letssled yes, they do all this while they are on, they use ground wires and I think something else to keep it from shocking them

[TheCaptainD82]

This is what adrenaline junkies do when the finally get a job!

[ApolloWasReal]

I take it those insulators have a high safety margin for the line's operating voltage. That guy seems to spread himself out across quite a few of them at once.

[nanomagnetic]

@ApolloWasReal I think I can answer this old one: Power lines are typically thousands or tens of thousands of pounds of steel cable running from span to span. One 180lb pound man and his 100lb(?) cart don't mean much as far as strain tolerances go.

[ApolloWasReal]

@nanomagnetic Makes sense. Wind loading alone is probably much more.

[oOcytewinderOo]

bad ass guy!!!

[TheNoisePolluter]

I love insulators

[Fourteen88SoCal]

you guys are fucking crazy! lol

mad respect!

[SafeGuard007]

[Alex1M6]

@SafeGuard007 So ignorant.

[TheTourlous]

[slaynt]

Stick that for a game of soldiers. I'd rather clean out a latrine in Nigeria.

[creedrulz6000]

i woulda shit my pants 60 times if i was up there

[scott93257]

@creedrulz6000

I almost shit my pants just watching

[POdXXvv]

the work was very interesting^^

[TheNatestate]

mad props to these guys that risk their lives every day to make sure that we have power. otherwise we couldent be saying anything to anybody on our computers.

[TehMG]

@TheNatestate Actually there's probably more risk involved in simply getting in a car and driving to work, than the amount of risk these guys take working on the power lines.

Working on a power line in this manner is actually quite safe, as there is nowhere to "complete the circuit".

[TheNatestate]

@TehMG i guess

[kdvlder]

Why are people calling these guys idiots? Some one has to do it. Oh, bye the way, there is NO POWER going through those lines.

[Frekazoid000]

holy crap i wouldnt go up theme electrical sh1ts even if bill gates gaved me half his cash+microsoft :|

[jonessantos21]

How about the safety? stupid guys.....

[nessnes64]

hights and powerlines......

might as well make me watch childs play

[guitaristguy20]

Wow , these guys are brave. I couldn't do that.

[OoBreno13]

OMG! You have my total respect men, you're a real hero!

[boneyloc]

Gotta love being a LINEMAN! wouldnt trade it for nothing......"Lineman.....beca­use fireman need heroes to"

[TEFLONTHADON]

What do firemen have to do with linemen?

[MJB612]

@TEFLONTHADON its a lineman saying that even firemen need heroes too

[TravisBickle2]

@TEFLONTHADON

IDIOT!

[TEFLONTHADON]

@TravisBickle2 Kick bricks, just a question lol

[fukinblowme]

There aren't many things in this world that I can't do. This is one of them...much respect.

[mstaff657]

That scares the shit out of me just watching
